The Monticello estate in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the main plantation of America\'s third president and it was a passion project for Jefferson, as he built the estate following a hefty inheritance from his father.
That inheritance included about 5,000 acres of land at Monticello - a hilltop near his family\'s estate.
In 1768, a year after Jefferson was admitted to the Virginia bar, workers started building the estate, which was a decades long process that was completed by 1809.
The house has 43 rooms - 33 in the house itself, four in the pavillions and six under the South Terrace.
About 60 per cent of the furnishings on display at Monticello are or may be items original to Jefferson - other items are period pieces or reproductions of original pieces.
While Thomas Jefferson is remembered for having drafted the declaration of independence, he also drafted the blueprints for Monticello\'s neoclassical mansion, outbuildings, gardens and slave quarters....

The rumors about U.S. President Thomas Jefferson’s affair with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings, started while he was in office in 1802. It was a disgruntled journalist, once an ally of Jefferson’s but later an embittered enemy, who set the ball rolling with articles in the Richmond Recorder.

Visitors have long come to Monticello to see and admire Thomas Jefferson\'s mansion, but a new silhouette and exhibition bring a largely hidden life into the open. No portrait exists of Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman who had a decades-long relationship with Jefferson and bore him six children, but the public can now learn the contours of her story. Jeffrey Brown reports.

Rodriguez Jr. returns to mobilee with his evocative album Baobab. Resident Advisor named the French artist in their Best Live Acts of 2016, and in between his famed live shows, he has created a ten track masterpiece that elicits powerful emotions through music.
“Baobab is about roots. It has mainly been written whilst travelling and I needed to re-connect to my roots: the music I used to listen to as a teenager from South Of France, my first parties, this fantastic sense of freshness, enthusiasm and innocence. This is why I decided to call it Baobab: a big tree proud to grow up in a lush surrounding, with it’s roots deep in the floor”.
Rodriguez Jr. understands the importance of empty spaces. The purposeful silences in-between each track enable reflection on what you have just heard. Skillfully using sounds and effects, he creates a masterclass in emotive music.
Collaborating with Liset Alea, the singer and composer from Nouvelle Vague, whose vocals shine through on three of the tracks of Baobab as well as Rodriguez Jr\'s own vocals on Heal Me, a track touching on the complexities of being human. Speaking about his collaboration with Liset, Olivier says, “the singer is a key part of this album as her voice is a link between different phases. The interaction in the studio has been extremely spontaneous and emotional”.
An Evidence Of Time opens the album with a heartbeat and steps into the intricacies of Olivier\'s mind. “Wake me, shake me, in t...
